The environment is big business. A survey of 100 of Europe's leading business analysts and decision-makers from France, Germany, and the UK reveals that corporate social and environmental responsibility has moved from an option to a mandate for chief executive officers. On almost every front business is being pressed to assume responsibilities it has not always been prepared to face. Corporate responsibility, both social and environmental, is on the mainstream agenda for public companies concerned about customers, employees, and communities.  "The case for responsible business starts with demonstrating it is possible for companies to create value for both society and shareholders. Indeed, leading companies are beginning to recognize that these are mutually reinforcing objectives.” (Robert Davies, Chief Executive of the Business Leaders Forum.)

To address the growing environmental management needs of business, the College of Business at Florida Atlantic University offers an MBA degree with management of environmental programs as a specialization. This is a unique, intensive program aimed at the working professional who wants an MBA with specialization in environmental business management. Classes meet approximately every third weekend, and a substantial part of the program is delivered through distance learning and the Internet. In this mode, it should not interfere with the workweek and can be completed in 15 months. Each participant has a rich opportunity to network with other managers in the environmental field while developing his or her managerial knowledge and skills. The EMBA program has been designed to produce graduates who will assume top management and key leadership positions.
